Lauren Alaina – Anyway – American Idol Top 4 – Video MP3

The power notes are there, but the softer parts are lacking. She needs some maturity and some coaching and she will be great, but she isn't quite there yet.

meh,
Kristy Lee Cook's version is sooooo much better than this.

Kristy lee Cook owns this song (and that's saying something). Lauren didn't do it justice.

She finally lived up to expectations

Damn! That was pretty damn awesome!

I can see her singing on Disney soundtracks.

She's great on this song!!! I've felt the emotion and the level of performance that she's pushing. She's really one level up! Go Lauren!!!

This was a good song choice, but there's definitely a ceiling on her range.

Meh

I love that song and Lauren performed it to perfection!!

Yay Lauren! You are back! I LOVE HER:
Vote for her America! She killed it tonight.

Why do they keep saying that Lauren is "back"? The producers are trying to give Lauren the underdog story arc. She is not mature enough to make it in the music biz, and she's not that great- she hasn't yet had an Idol moment. And then they constantly berate Haley regardless of how she does. How frustrating.

Positively beautiful. I have just one little comment - if she could say "I" instead of "Ahhhhiii" it would be clearer.

kristy lee cook's version .. was FAR MORE BEAUTIFUL!!

wasn't a fan until top 5 lets go Lauren... best of the night

Started out a little hesitantly, but she kicked booty. Her most effective performance yet!

Mwah!

AWESOMENESS!
